While the Apple ecosystem is quite convenient for many and offers intuitive functionality, they don’t offer a seamless experience outside of this set ecosystem. However, it appears that the company’s massively popular iMessage platform is finally making its way to the Windows 11 platform.
Apple iMessages will finally work on Windows 11
Microsoft has just announced that it will be rolling out support for the iMessages through the Phone Link app. This update will be available to Windows 11 users and will let users send messages from their iPhones without actually using the smartphone. The Phone Link uses Bluetooth to sync help up your iOS devices. While this feature is already available for Android devices, it will only be available for iPhones in a limited manner.
So iPhone owners can only send and receive messages to others and manage the notifications as well as make phone calls. This is lesser than the many features offered by Phone Link’s functionality on Android devices. Some examples of this is Samsung’s Galaxy S series devices that allow for app streaming to mirror Android apps on your PCs. As per official notes, the company will still take till mid May before iOS syncing is allowed on Windows 11 users.
So for those interested, you can download Phone Link application from the Apple Store if you have an iPhone. Microsoft have been working on this compatibility feature for sometime now. The iMessage arriving on the Windows platform has apparently been in works for around five years now, beginning back in 2018. So this feature will easily be welcomed by many.
